I have a MikroTik hEX PoE that I am configuring for the first time, and I need it to work in bridge mode. However, when I select Bridge mode under Ethernet Quick Set in WebFig, the device suddenly stops responding to HTTP requests. As a test, I set Address Acquisition to “Automatic”, and I confirmed it does pick up a DHCP address by checking the device list on my Internet gateway. However, all attempts to contact it over HTTP, Telnet, or SSH just time out. All ports are open on my internal network, and I already have a MikroTik hEX (not PoE) device working with the same configuration. I also tried switching the network cable to ports other than Internet, but I get nothing. The only way I can reconfigure the device is to reset the configuration and reconnect using the default address (192.168.88.1).
Am I overlooking something obvious?
